A huge wide-angle 3.0" LCD screen ? the largest to ever grace a Canon compact digital still camera ? is just one of several landmark innovations on the
Digital IXUS 65. A new Touch Control Dial replaces the mode dial - touching the dial displays a mode icon on the LCD for quick and easy function selection, particularly after dark. The dial can
also be used to scroll through images during playback. A new Image Inspection Tool makes use of the large LCD screen by simultaneously displaying a newly shot image and a magnified section of the
image ? ideal for checking details before leaving the scene. The magnified spot can be moved between AF points or to any point on the image.

Increased ISO speed

Stylish compact cameras are generally used indoors, at parties and in other low light situations where the use of the flash can spoil the ambience of the
scene. The Digital IXUS 65 incorporates ISO 800 to facilitate flash-free shooting indoors and minimise the effects of camera shake. A new High ISO Auto setting automatically sets exposure
using the higher range of ISO sensitivities, prioritising faster shutter speeds for reduced image blur. Dedicated ISO buttons on the cameras allow quick switching between ISO settings.Creative
shooting

Canon's My Colors photo effects can now be applied both before and after shooting to images, offering users more opportunities to customise their creations
without having to connect to a PC. The Digital IXUS 65 offers 16 shooting modes including a Manual mode, which enables selection of ISO, white balance and other exposure settings. Preset scene
modes assist with tricky lighting conditions, including an Underwater mode for shooting underwater with the optional Waterproof Case. Color Accent and Color Swap modes enable dramatic colour
effects to be applied to both images and movies without the need for a PC or image manipulation software. A new Widescreen recording mode (2816 x 1584 recording pixels) allows for still image
capturing in 16:9 format ? perfect for viewing images on widescreen television or printing wide format (10 x 20cm) photos with a SELPHY CP series Compact Photo Printer.

The cameras? movie features enable recording of 30fps VGA movie clips of up to 1GB . A 60fps QVGA mode is ideal for recording fast action sequences and
analysing them in slow motion, while the handy Compact mode records up to 3 minutes in low resolution for easy sharing via email.

Printing and other new features

A new dedicated and easy to access Print menu simplifies printing of multiple images. Full PictBridge support means users can print directly to any PictBridge
compatible printer without the need for a PC. The cameras' ID photo and movie stills features are also available when connected to a SELPHY CP Compact Photo Printer. A Print/Share button allows
one-touch printing and easy uploads to Windows or Mac systems.The cameras? menu systems now feature support for Arabic, bringing the total number of supported languages to 23.
